[The Class Notes Artist experience] was so fun! All of the students were really engaged and excited about the music and the teachers did a really good job preparing them for my visit. It was really neat to work in music performance in the classroom setting and one thing that I learned is that it's not really that different from any other kind of performance. What amazed me most was how the kids respond to music in basically the same way adults do and it was really fun to be a part of that.
